Amiibos to be Released in Rare Gold and Silver Variants

It's-a-me! MORE MARIO!

Look out! Nintendo looks to be releasing some rare versions of their Mario Amiibo. These versions will be solid gold and solid silver. This news was leaked  in a pair of Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) certificates posted to Nintendo's website. They have since been removed.

Several media outlets have reached out to Nintendo for comment and clarification on how these Mario amiibo figures will be distributed, either at retail, through a giveaway, an exclusive or some other method but haven't received an official statement.

With no official word from Nintendo, we don't know if it will ONLY be Mario figures or if there will be any other variants. However, we do know that this amiibo is in a new pose! This is coinciding with the release of Mario Party 10.

The new Super Mario line of amiibo is scheduled to launch March 20 and includes Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi and Toad. Nintendo will release another batch of Super Smash Bros.-themed amiibo, which include Robin, Lucina, Pac-Man, Wario, Ness and Charizard, this spring.

Yes, Charizard...you will be mine.

Keep your eyes open for news on these rare gold/silver versions and hope we can get our hands on them!
